[Plplot-devel] PLplot 5.9.3 problems on OS-X

[Hazen B. <hba...@ma...>]

That didn't take long... If you are trying to compile 5.9.3 on OS-X with 
the Aquaterm driver and you get something like the following message:
>

The solution is to copy the missing aqt.rc file from 
"drivers/test_dyndrivers_dir/" to "drivers/" and then run make again.

We plan to fix this problem (and a few others) with a 5.9.4 release of 
PLplot, which will created this weekend (likely Sunday the 10th).
